Perfect location in a quiet street - close to the bus stop, a few minutes walk from the centre, near the trailheads of 9 arch bridge and Little Adam’s Peak (perfect especially for a sunrise hike). The Fantastic caretaker makes sure the guests feel welcome and is ready to help with anything! He Also prepares delicious local breakfast with fresh fruits.

If you go to Ella, this is the place to stay. Here you have silence from all the tourists and really can enjoy time in nature, watching animals. More than in all other tourist attractions. So this place was our highlight in whole Ella. Also the breakfast was really amazing and the woman helps you with everything. For the hikers, you can start hiking here to Ella rock easily and therefore have the chance to be there a bit more early than others from the town centre.

Maduranga and his wife were exceptional hosts. They were both very warm, kind and friendly. I got caught in heavy rainfall and Maduranga offered to bring me an umbrella. His wife also made a home remedy for me to treat some insect bites that I had. The breakfast was abundant and varied and saw me through to way past lunchtime. The shower was excellent with hot water and the cleanliness of the room impeccable. A few days after my stay, he also checked in to see where I was and if I was ok. I highly recommend this homestay.

One of the best appartment I've had We booked this place for a week, but extended it for another 4 days because it was too good. The room is clean, and the view from the window is just magical. The breakfasts were exactly at the time we requested. They were big, balanced and delicious. Our tastes were taken into account in the breakfasts. We work from home, so good Internet is important to us. Wifi has not let us down during our stay here, but in the evenings it works much worse than in the morning and afternoon. The landlady helped us find a laundry, food delivery to the house. She offered to visit the waterfall together and we went with her to it. She also helped us get to Yala National Park. Thanks for everything! I hope we'll see you again!

If I said it was a good accommodation with a nice view of the Ella rock, that would not be fair. It was our home lost in a corner of paradise. If you are looking for such a place - this accommodation is a must. We are grateful to Kamara's family for their hospitality and kindness and hope that one day we will see you again.

This is a cute hostel near the center of Ella. The location is strategic for those who will visit the Nine-Arch bridge and little Adam's peak. It is also a short drive to Ella railway station. There are shops around the cottage which are very helpful for immediate purchase and emergencies. The host is very kind. The room is spacious with seating area, dresser and toilet. There is also a cabinet for your clothes. There is a dining area just outside the room which is very comfy and relaxing. We had a lovely and filling breakfast.
